Technology catch-all thread
My internet has been pretty slow since I moved into my apartment back in May and I am pretty tired of it.. My internet will disconnect at least 2 times a day randomly for no reason, I can't stream video like MLBTV, can't play madden online through wifi, YouTube videos buffer sometimes. But I am just now fed up, I just got a tablet and its connected to the wifi. My router is probably no more then 20 feet away from my living room (it is in a small bedroom) and I can't even watch a Youtube video, I have to let it buffer for a few minutes to watch and surfing the internet is slow as well. Anything I can do to speed up the internet? My ISP offers up to 30 Mbps and I believe my router is more then good enough for a small apartment. Just did a speed test and this is what I got: 10.43 download and 4.29 upload speed. not sure how good that is considering I am 15 feet from my router and nobody else is using the internet. whenever I am in the same room as the router my internet is way fast. Any tips would be great

Paul Konerko Returning to White Sox
I like the move, split time with Dunn/Abreu, with Abreu getting the most time (I am sure he will need days off with not being use to playing so many games and days in a row). Konerko is a staple of this organization and I am glad he is returning and not going out with the way he performed last year.. If he didn't think he could play he wouldn't be here.

Ronald Belisario also non-tendered. Could be a good bullpen guy

Dan Hudson Non tendered
Chris Coghlan also non tendered, lefty who could be good off the bench for us

He will go to some better team I am sure.. I wish we would get him but I don't see it happening

Chase Headley
QUOTE (TheFutureIsNear @ Dec 2, 2013 -> 08:14 PM) Oh boy Freese is a whole 11 months older. And Freese was hurt last year, he has been a slightly above average the rest of his career. Headley is a 3B who will make around $9M next year who has posted an OPS over .775 once in his career. I'll pass. His 2010 season of .264/.327/.375 wasn't mediocre by the way? He's had 1 really good season (2012) and 1 season that was a little above average (2011), the rest of his career has been average at best. And Busch is just as bad for hitters as Petco for whoever used that excuse, actually its worse for home runs. http://espn.go.com/mlb/stats/parkfactor/_/order/false Cardinals really didn't have home run hitters playing though. And Headley still hit 31 home runs. Freese at most his 20? Headley was hurt last year too

Chase Headley
QUOTE (TheFutureIsNear @ Dec 2, 2013 -> 05:48 PM) I suggested we should go after David Freese and people practically jumped down my throat, but somehow Headley is a good idea? Somebody please explain this logic to me. Look at his numbers in 2012 while remembering he plays 81 games Petco park and that will tell you why

Chase Headley
I think Headley would be a perfect fit for the Sox. I think he had a down year last year but he will bounce back especially in Chicago. Hope we make a push for him.

QUOTE (Jake @ Nov 26, 2013 -> 01:27 AM) The current one is going to be discounted and that thing is an absolute beast. I do hate that Samsung design, though. I can't understand why they make all of their products look like cheap children's gadgets. The new Note 10 is a step in the right direction. Nexus 7 or 10 (from last year).. I wonder when the Nexus 10 will be discounted.

Technology catch-all thread
Anybody know when the new Nexus 10 is going to come out?? I have read on black friday but you think there would have been an announcement already.. I figured if that comes out the one from last year will be cheaper and might get it. I looked at the 7 inch tablets and they just seem a bit too small for me. Wish they had it in a n 8 or 9 inch screen.. so figured the 10 inch would be best for me. But still haven't decided. Such a tough decision for whatever reason..

Cardinals and Peralta close to a deal
Really doesn't seem like a St. Louis move. I hope he struggles because he doesn't deserve that money..

NBA Thread 2013-2014
QUOTE (Jake @ Nov 23, 2013 -> 01:10 AM) Honestly, I won't blame him if he really breaks down. This is unbelievably awful. Yeah, yeah, we know he gets plenty of money and it's part of the reason he will eventually be fine. But he has invested a tremendous portion of his emotional livelihood in basketball. When he thinks about himself, he thinks "I am Derrick Rose the basketball player." Everyone he knows, even his family, thinks about him in this way. Success in basketball and success in life are synonymous for him. That has been taken away. The rehab for the ACL injury took a ton out of him. The length of time away from the game, the time it took, the fear of failure, the criticism coming at him...those all took their toll. To look ahead at all of the same but even more is probably overwhelming. Luckily (I guess), he has a long time to get over it. Exactly, basketball is his life, its what he lives and breathes. And if that is taken away from him..... I couldn't even imagine.. It took him 18 months to come back from the first one. Missed a whole season.. Its reasonable to say he could be back by the start of next year but who knows.. Could take him even longer since it happened to him twice.

I don't know how Rose will take this psychology. He didn't even get to play a quarter of a season and he tears his other ACL?? What are the chances. That would kill me emotionally

QUOTE (scs787 @ Nov 22, 2013 -> 02:08 PM) Interesting deal for the Cards. With Holliday in LF and Bourjos in CF, they don't have room to play Taveras if they also wanna keep Craig/Adams. Not to mention Jay, who I could see being traded to the Sox for Lexi. Why should we trade Alexei for Jay?? Jay is not good.
